Please note that with 16 dB of headroom, the LynxONE’s analog outputs are capable
of delivering +20 dBu signal levels. It is important to verify that the equipment you
are driving is capable of handling these signal levels in order to prevent clipping or
possible damage.
Digital Audio
The XLR connectors on the Audio Cable, labeled DIGITAL IN and DIGITAL OUT
are used for AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital audio connections. Connect AES/EBU
devices directly and select AES/EBU Digital Format in the LynxONE mixer application.
Connect to S/PDIF devices using XLR-to-RCA adapters such as the Lynx CBL-
XF2RM18 (female XLR) and the Lynx CBL-XM2RM18 (male XLR). Select S/P DIF
Digital Format in the LynxONE mixer application. Refer to the “XLR Connector Wiring
and Adapters” section for information regarding XLR adapter construction.
MIDI Connections
The 5-pin DIN connectors on the MIDI/Clock Cable are used to connect to the
LynxONE’s two MIDI ports. The MIDI IN 1 and MIDI OUT 1 connectors provide
connections for MIDI port 1. The MIDI IN 2 and MIDI OUT 2 connectors provide
connections for MIDI port 2. Use standard shielded MIDI cables to connect to external
MIDI equipment.
Clock Input and Output
The BNC connectors on the MIDI/Clock Cable, labeled CLOCK IN and CLOCK
OUT are used to synchronize the LynxONE with external equipment. The connectors
support TTL level signals and should be connected with 75-ohm coaxial cable. Connect
the CLOCK IN connector to the clock output of an external device and select External
as the Sample Clock Source in the LynxONE mixer. Adjust the clock Reference to
match the incoming clock type.
CLOCK OUT is a word clock that tracks the sample rate of the LynxONE. Connect
this output to the word clock input of an external device.
Header Connectors
The Header connectors labeled CLOCK IN and CLOCK OUT are used to synchronize
the LynxONE with internal equipment located inside your computer. For systems
containing multiple LynxONE’s, these connectors are utilized to synchronize the sample
clocks of each card. The connectors support TTL level signals and should be connected
using the Lynx Internal Clock Cable or similar 75-ohm coaxial cable.
Connect the CLOCK IN connector to the clock output of an internal device and select
Header as the clock source in the LynxONE mixer. Adjust the clock Reference to
match the incoming clock type.
The signal on the CLOCK OUT header is a word clock that tracks the sample rate of
the LynxONE. Connect this output to the word clock input of an internal device or
another LynxONE.
